Brace for it - come October, the Facist-in-Chief will deploy federal agents to polling places in swing districts. When counter demonstraters respond, he will federalize National Guard troops and seize or close polling places. It's all about voter suppression. He is desperate. Stand up, speak out!

We just learned how unreliable this database is, after it flagged 16,000 Nevada voters as noncitizens—and it turned out that EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS A CITIZEN. People WILL be denied their right to vote over this. SCOTUS MUST BE UNPACKED via expansion as soon as possible. truthout.org/articles/dhs...

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

The system combines citizenship information with Americans’ Social Security data, and eligible voters (including naturalized citizens) have already been wrongly flagged as noncitizens. With the midterms just weeks away, the consequences of this are huge.

This is a big deal and it will affect eligible voters! The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow the Trump administration to resume using its expanded SAVE database to check voter rolls, reversing lower-court orders that had blocked it over privacy and accuracy concerns.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Trump just told the UN proudly that "to the victor belongs the spoils." That is a barbaric, zero-sum view of power that celebrates conquest over cooperation. It is incompatible and the diametric opposite of why the United Nations was created and exists today. In other words, classic Trump.
